We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But once a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for spontaneous chat, more readings, songs, quotes, you never know what treasures will be uncovered!

Topic: Decision-making with Baba

Dear folks of Baba,

In this life with Baba, we are continually having to make decisions, some much more crucial than others, which have relevance and often a serious impact on our inner life with Him.

We may be at a crossroads in our work career: should we stay at our present job or accept another offer of employment? What if that offer would involve moving to another city?

We may be faced with what college to go to among various choices. What major to go into?

We may be having to decide whether it is time to get married.

In many cases such as these, we may not feel we know ourselves well enough, we are out of our depths. What if we make a so-called mistake on a decision so crucial?

In these moments, we turn to Baba. But how do we access His wish in these situations? We each have unique ways of endeavoring to hear Baba’s voice and distinguish it from the voice of our emotional impulses or the voice that’s always telling us what we “should” do.

How do angst, stress, overload, confusion, frustration, physical pain figure into your consciously turning to Baba for help?

Do your emotions ever get tangled up in your decisions, so that you get in your own way? What then?

If you've asked Baba for his guidance and yet don't feel His response, what is your next move?

What do you think about lightheartedly bringing Baba into simple everyday choices: "Okay, Baba, what's your pick for tonight's supper/movie/whatever?" Do you suppose He might surprise you with the outcome?

What are some of the methods you turn to to determine what Baba might wish or might please Him?

Some check in with their body to feel whether they are getting a green light from Baba in regard to a decision.

Some might consult Baba’s words and see whether something resonates.

Some go deep within and try to access their intuition that lets them know.

Some use a method like Aloba, one of the mandali, who would write on pieces of paper, yes and no, fold them up, pray to Baba deeply and then choose one of them.

A dear friend shared, “Let the mind respond to the heart and act accordingly.” How does that happen?

What methods and even signs or indicators have worked for you?

In His love, Jeff
